Kaia and Elmo

Daddy and I think Elmo is obnoxious but, our girl loves to dance with him. She has learned what setting she likes best and dances to it over and over. She will even turn off Elmo in order to reset it. Smarty pants!

Sorry for messing up the video a little. I was snapping my fingers and got off track for a second there.

It's Hip Hop Baby! Review & Giveaway*CLOSED*

My daughter and I had a chance about a month ago to review a new CD and DVD called It's Hip Hop Baby! When we finally got a chance to put it on and really watch it, my daughter was hooked. She is two and loves to dance at this stage in her development. She loves going over her ABC's and she loves to try and count with me.

It's Hip Hop Baby has counting, Simon says, ABC's, and Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. It shows children in the studio and park settings talking about their favorite things and singing the songs. The DVD takes on an urban feel and has a diverse group of kids singing and dancing. It reminds me of PBS kids shows where children are helping "teach" on the television.

The music has very catchy beats that make it easy to get involved in and remember what is being said. I can tell you after watching it a few times over the last few days that the songs are definitely stuck in my head ha ha. My daughter honestly only asks to watch this DVD and her movie, Cars. She is completely enthralled by watching the kids and trying to do the movements on Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes and that makes it a great "exercise" video as well.

The only down side I can think of, is that the DVD is short, it's only about 22 minutes long and my daughter could probably stand it to be a little longer.

Milkshake Music Review And Giveaway! *CLOSED*

I asked family to purchase some CD's for my daughter's first Christmas, which also was the day before her first Birthday. She loves music and has really always loved it! She received a cute little CD called Happy Songs from Milkshake music. My daughter has loved that CD since day one and so has her mama!

It's fun and vibrant and the lyrics are about everyday life. Well, I wanted to share their music with all of you. They have a new CD out now called Play, that has some really cute tunes about having a band, pirates, and Superheroes!

We received the new CD, the new DVD and the comic book to review. The DVD features really cute, kid friendly videos with the band singing their songs. They have different locations and really play out the visualization of the songs. The DVD also includes two videos that were created for PBS kids and a noggin hit, Bottle Of Sunshine.

The band's mission is to create children's rock music. They were inspired by the birth of their children and what they are going through on a daily basis. They are soulful and inspired and a break away from traditional children's music.

Milkshake music would like to invite you to join their Facebook to get new updates from the band and shows.
